The phrase "altering the reference" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are discussing changes made to a source or point of reference in a document or conversation.
Example: "The researcher is altering the reference to ensure it aligns with the latest findings in the field."
Alternatives: "modifying the reference" or "changing the reference".
Stills from the video have been altered into images that are super-kawaii, surreal, or anime-referencing.
The statement was quite significantly more hawkish, as they altered the reference to "downside risks" by indicating that this risk has diminished "since the fall".
A computer-driven translation stage, TS1, is used to alter the reference path length to select different depths for C-scans while acquiring stacks of C-scans as well as scanning the depth in the B-scan acquisition mode.
To determine the effect of read length on the ability to identify small indels, we altered the reference of supercontig 1 at evenly spaced intervals to simulate indels, aligned un-altered data to the altered reference, and then determined if maq was able to correctly identify the simulated indels.
As demonstrated in previous work by our researchers [ 8, 21] and others [ 22], the use of a galvanometer to alter the reference arm length appears to be a simple and easy way to avoid the necessity for a patch fiber and adjustment of the dispersion compensation.
We used a custom script to combine SNPs and indels for each strain into a single "patch" file, and a second script to read this patch file and alter the reference genome by changing, inserting or deleting nucleotides at the appropriate locations.
Several compounds induced GFP expression greater than 100-fold while not altering the expression of the reference genes (Table 2 and Supplementary Table 4), demonstrating a selective potent induction of the silent transgene.
Copy number variation (CNV): a segment of DNA (>1 kb) that is present at a variable copy number compared to the reference genome, altering the diploid status at a particular locus.
These control targets are achieved through altering the positive and negative sequence references.
Such agglomeration/aggregation of TiO2 nanoparticles is well documented and can be tuned by altering the pH (for example see references [9, 18, 19]).
